--- Comment #31 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.fo...@utsa.edu> ---
Ed, *,

I suspect there will be other software mixes that bork the handling Copy/Paste
of the MS Clipboard API.  I'm relieved that you've identified the utility you
routinely install that IS consistently causing the issue.

I'm not sure though that anything can be done within LibreOffice, short of a
substantial refactoring of the whole LibreOffice system clipboard interface, to
improve reliability of the MS Windows Clipboard. Alternatively, it might be
handled as an Extension--i.e. a LibreOffice branded Clipboard manager.

As is, no developer will take this on as it is not reproducible from a
LibreOffice perspective. 

The content of just these two Windows related tech support sites suggest there
are multiple applications that can cause problems with Windows copy/paste
functions of the clipboard:

Notably MS's own RDP (RDPCLIP.exe) looks to cause issues with the clipboard
API.

Normally this issue would probably be closed, Resolved NOTOURBUG. But your
issue was not that of the original poster who seemed to have had problems with
exhaustion of the LibreOffice clipboard cache. As reported in this ASK
LibreOffice
thread--http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/13204/pasting-problem/

For now leaving it open--but a poke at Dave Brown and Alan Young to respond.
